Give Him a Break

It’s this write on/wipe off photo board that everyone in the family can personalize whenever someone is their favorite.

You get the idea.

In other Wednesday news, if you’re a fan of Parenthood (and are caught up on this season), head over to Entertainment Weekly {dot} com to check out my post in “The Community.” Today I’m considering giving Julia a scarlet letter to wear and wondering if you think she’s crossed a line. I’d love to hear your thoughts.

And make sure to check back Friday for all the photos from tonight’s signing of “I Just Want to Be Alone.”
My husband might even show up without his disguise.

If you haven’t ordered your copy of “I Just Want to Be Alone,” what are you waiting for? My husband gets to call in one favor for every book sold! And by ‘favor’ I of course mean rubbing my back and refilling my wine glass.
